There is no limit on other music coursework. Any other exceptions must be approved by the assistant dean. A minor (business or non-business) is encouraged.

Progression Requirements:

• Minimum 2.250 overall GPA, minimum C (2.000) grade in COMM 15000, ENG 21011, MATH 11010 and ENTR 27056.

Program Policies:

• A minimum 2.250 GPA.
• Entrepreneurship majors will not get credit for ENTR 17001 Start-Up Entrepreneurs or ENTR 17002 Entrepreneurial Mindset.
• Students are permitted to register for ENTR 47049 Entrepreneurial Experience II while taking ENTR 47048 Entrepreneurial Experience I and students are permitted to register for ENTR 47192 Entrepreneurial Executive Apprenticeship II while taking ENTR 47092 Entrepreneurial Executive Apprenticeship I.
• For students double majoring in Managerial Marketing and Entrepreneurship; Marketing Tools, MMTG 35011, will substitute for Entrepreneurial Tools, ENTR 37040, but not vice versa because MMTG 35011 is a writing intensive course.
• Entrepreneurship majors who are also majoring in either Marketing or Managerial Marketing, and who have taken Sales in the Entrepreneurial Venture (ENTR 37045), are not required to take Personal Selling (MKTG 45046) for the Marketing major or Sales and Sales Management (MMTG 45030) for the Managerial Marketing major or minor; however, a Marketing or Managerial Marketing major cannot waive ENTR 37045 by taking either MKTG 45046 or MMTG 45030.
• The creation of an Entrepreneurial Executive Apprenticeship gives students the flexibility of either starting their own business or working for a start-up in the region. In some cases, and with approval of department chair, an Internship in Entrepreneurship (ENTR 47292) may substitute for either Entrepreneurial Executive Apprenticeship I or Entrepreneurial Executive Apprenticeship II.
• While students may choose both Entrepreneurial Experience I and Entrepreneurial Experince II and Entrepreneurial Executive Apprenticeship I and Entrepreneurial Executive Apprenticeship II, they would be unnecessarily duplicating a capstone experience and the heavy time commitment for both is such that they cannot be taken at the same time.
• Entrepreneurial Experience I (ENTR 27065) and Entrepreneurial Experience II (ENTR 27075) will be designated as equivalent to the senior level versions of these courses, (ENTR 47048 and ENTR 47049).
